John Bolton doesn’t have the power to stop the 200,000 copies of his book that have been shipped to booksellers, his attorneys said in the former national security adviser’s first legal response to a government lawsuit.
“The Government cannot plausibly argue that Ambassador Bolton has power to stop the Amazon delivery trucks in America, unshelve the copies in Europe, commandeer the copies in Canada, and repossess the copies sent to reviewers or in the possession of major newspapers,” Bolton’s lawyers wrote in a court filing late Thursday.
